In an attempt to free himself from the pervasive feminine dominance exerted by his mother and his girlfriend, the hero of this improvisational German movie often leaves home late in the evening to take in the late show at a local cinema. One night, he sees a film there whose star is himself, undergoing a similar quest for self-knowledge and self-liberation. In his case, the blending of fantasy and reality serves as a helpful tonic.
